It seems like a silly reason to have to break up, but honestly it might be something you have to break up over.


It's an extremely stupid reason to break up imo. But that said, you should just do it. That way you no longer have to feel obligated to do it AND she can possibly find someone that's OK with her being close with her parents.


I'm fine with her being close to her parents. What makes you think I'm not? Because I don't want to be as close to her parents as she is? Is. that really normal? Even her sisters husband isn't like that, much less normal people in my experience.

A person's familial ties become your ties

if their family and priority for family time doesn't match with you, you do not share values, and maybe shouldn't be together

what they're asking for is excessive to me but wouldn't be to some people I've dated


I don't understand these posts (and your next one) tbh. I don't expect that my family time is an obligation for my partner when I want to have it, and I don't begrudge her seeing her family when she wants to.

Like, what if we had the same family priorities? We would spend both of our weekend days with our parents. That is not realistic or even sustainable, frankly. I can't count the number of times I've told my parents that I don't wanna see them because I already spent half my weekend with my gfs parents as it is.

People don't have infinite free time...
